MP3 BLOG PROMO: NEON CIRCUS 'DIGITIZM'
Neon Circus are two writer/producers from Leicester who create their own brand of alternative–indie/electronica influenced by the likes of Ian Brown, Who Made Who, The Rapture, LCD Sound System, DJ Shadow and Aim. Digit-izm has recently been signed to play on Slips on MTV.
They've now completed their album, created their own artwork, set up a record label Jacket Pocket Records, and are now booking live dates for performances. They have their own unique promotional material on the way to - expect to see animated music videos, graphic CD covers and posters.
Digit-izm has a distinct rocky twist compared to the previous leftfield electronica they had been writing - electronica clearly still influences the tune but is upstaged by the up front vocal line.
